About Filmbox Pro

Filmbox Pro 3.3.0

Looks Library

  • Access a library of 100+ presets that configure Filmbox Pro’s many parameters to deliver a wide range of commonly needed or hard-to-implement aesthetics - ideal for look development. Apply them as starting points and customize freely.
  • This same Looks library powers the new “Filmbox Looks” edition of the plugin. Filmbox Pro contains all the functionality of Looks and can open grades created by Looks.
  • Click “Switch to Filmbox Looks” at the bottom of the plugin to open the Looks interface. Select a look and click “Apply to Filmbox Pro” to apply its configuration to Pro for advanced customization. You can also click “Switch to Filmbox Pro” and you’ll return to your previous Pro configuration without changing anything.

8mm

  • Set Negative -> Gauge to 8mm for a faithful emulation of shooting on 8mm
  • Updated Grain, Halation, Dust, Gate Weave, and (new!) Flicker with 8mm assets

Simple Telecine Curve

  • An alternative to the Cinema print system that uses a simple tone curve to prepare the negative scan for display and entirely lacks a color transformation or print color emulation
  • Can be customized with Highlight Rolloff, Print-Like Color, and Black Point parameters
  • Even more basic than the Extended (Telecine) option in the Cinema print system.
  • Produces looks that feel more “dry,” similar to some indie films or older HDTV telecine film transfers, and can be tuned to produce interesting results.

Flicker

  • Added Flicker in the Negative module
  • Reproduces subtle changes in exposure between frames most prevalent in 8mm cameras

Richness

  • Added a new Lab control, “Richness”
  • Positive values make muted colors more colorful and skin tones more rich and red.
  • Negative values desaturate muted colors.
  • Has little influence on already saturated colors.
  • Pair with “Vibrance” for especially interesting saturation effects

User Presets

  • Import and export the current settings of Filmbox Pro to a “.filmbox” preset file
  • Useful for moving plugin settings between Baselight, Resolve, and Adobe products
  • Selectively bypass Source, Camera Settings, and Display Colorspace on import

Action Required for Adobe Users

  • We had to make a change to our Adobe plugins that unfortunately is not backwards compatible. We do not believe this will ever need to happen again - thanks for bearing with us as we continue to learn about the Adobe plugin ecosystem!
  • Replace Filmbox Pro in any existing Premiere or AE projects with this new version. Filmbox Pro 3.2.6 for Adobe will continue to be available for users that need access to it. Just open the Video Village Plugins app, select “Adobe” and click Settings -> Install Other Version -> 3.2.6
